Which item is typically found on a motor nameplate?

• A. Frame size
• B. FLA
• C. Manufacturer's name
• D. Locked rotor letters

Answer: (C)

Nameplates on electric motors provide identification and essential data about the unit. The manufacturer’s name is the best answer because it uniquely identifies who built the motor, which is crucial for warranty, service, and obtaining the correct parts or data sheets for that exact model. While other items like frame size or full-load amps can appear on nameplates, they aren’t universal identifiers like the maker’s name. Locked-rotor information may be listed on some nameplates, but it isn’t as consistently provided for quick identification as the manufacturer's name.
